35. tert-Butyl cation is less stable and less selective than the cations from 1a and 1b, therefore it can also react with the solvent that is a weaker nucleophile than water.
36. It might be suggested that the C-S bond breaking in the thiadioxirane is homolytic forming a benzenesulfonyl radical and a carbon radical. Reaction of the carbon radical with oxygen should lead to the observed reaction products. However, the formation of N-tert-butylacetamide is a clear indication that a carbocation is also formed and supports the heterolytic cleavage. Moreover, in this case the ketone would be the main reaction product, which is not observed.
37. 17 However, those experiments were carried out at a significantly higher temperature, ≥40 °C.
